Speak Your Truth Podcast -29-12- 2025-Mina Skandari -Heal Bloom Grow

What happens when teens stop scrolling and start reflecting?

On this episode of Speak Your Truth with Pri on Alive 90.5FM, Pri sits down with Davina Raj, a thoughtful Year 11 student, to unpack how social media is shaping young lives — both online and offline.

Sparked by a real-life conversation with a youth who reminded us that “not everything online is real — some of it’s glorified,” this show explores the power, pressure, and potential of social media for today’s youth.

Together, Pri and Davina dive into:

• The difference between real life and highlight reels

• Social media’s impact on confidence, comparison, and connection

• Mental health, digital habits, and “scroll stress”

• How teens can use social platforms with purpose — not pressure

• Why face-to-face conversations still matter (yes, even when they’re awkward!)

Plus, listeners are invited to try the Taro Tea Challenge — a simple offline moment that could change how we connect.

This is an honest, hopeful conversation for teens, parents, educators, and anyone navigating life between the scroll and the soul.

Speak Your Truth Podcast -23-2- 2026-Social Media: Influence on Youth — Between the Scroll and the Soul with Davina

Today on the show, we welcome Pri Nola Gu Rie Physiotherapists back into the studio for another insightful radio chat.

In this session, we’re joined by a physiotherapist‑turned injury management consultant and the founder of iPrana, responding to some thoughtful questions sent in by different sections of our community.

This conversation is not medical advice, but a relaxed and informative discussion designed to help listeners better understand the world of physiotherapy, injury management, and movement health.

Segment 1 – Understanding the Body & Injury

We explore:

•  What’s one must‑do everyday stretch most people can benefit from?

•  When diagnosing a physical concern, how important is understanding the social or environmental context in which the injury occurred?

•  What injuries are most commonly treated in physiotherapy practice?

Segment 2 – Pathways & Professions

We also unpack:

•  Advanced certifications available to physiotherapists—such as Dry Needling and Orthopedic specialisations—and which ones may be most valuable

•  The key differences between Physiotherapy and Kinesiology, and how each supports recovery and movement in different ways

A grounded, practical conversation that connects clinical expertise with real‑life experiences.
